Isaac,

The "everyone else" argument has never been my sole, nor main, argument. 
I've only ever raised it because it is possibly suggestive that you may 
be wrong. My arguments against you position before have been detailed 
and you have consistently failed to address the problems with your 
methodology. My own view is that you fail to address them so that you 
can continue to maintain your original view without modification. I have 
demonstrated a number of times the problems with your pronominal theory, 
yet again have just written to Lloyd touting them as given fact!

The study of phonemics is linguistic science. I note that your claim 
that it is pseudo-science is given without any defence, as if that were 
fact too. As if one who has not studied linguistics, and who has 
misunderstood linguistics and so formed untenable theories about the 
Hebrew language, were in a position to make such a judgement call! 
Without evidence your claim is baseless.

Sure, I'm not listening to you and I should really be doing something 
more useful than replying to you again. I'm not listening to you because 
until you drop your fanciful theories which exist only because of 
fundamental blunders made in understanding and applying linguistics, you 
have pretty much nothing accurate to say regarding semantic analysis of 
BH because everything is forced through the barrel of your baseless 
theory. Please assign your theory to the trash and study Linguistics 101 
at your university.

Regards,
David Kummerow.
